Advanced UT (Phased Array & ToFD) in Lieu of Radiography
As the restrictions in the use of Industrial Radiography (RT) has increased over the years, the need for alternative weld inspection methods and techniques such as Time of Flight Diffraction [...]
Ultrasonic Examination of Boilers
Introduction to Shell Boilers & their Examination Since 1993 Inspection Organisations have noted a marked increase in the number of shell boilers exhibiting cracks at shell-to-endplate and furnace-to-endplate welds. Records [...]
Fabrication of Artificial Kidney Stones Using Ultrasound

Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a reliable method of advanced ultrasonic testing (UT) used in weld inspection. TOFD uses the "time of flight" of an ultrasonic pulse to find [...]
Phased Array Inspection
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive examination technique that utilises a set of ultrasonic testing (UT) probes made up of numerous small elements, each of which is [...]
Eddy Current Testing
Eddy Current Testing (also commonly seen as eddy current testing and ECT) is one of many electromagnetic testing methods used in nondestructive testing (NDT) making use of electromagnetic induction to [...]
Ultrasonic Inspection
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is within the family of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short [...]
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement
In the field of industrial ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) is a method of performing non-destructive measurement (gauging) of the local thickness of a solid element (typically made of [...]
